"The Doll's House" is a 1922 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in ''The Nation and Atheneum'' on 4 February 1922 and subsequently appeared in ''The Dove's Nest and Other Stories''. Mansfield used an alternative title in other editions, including ''At Karori''.
==Plot summary==
Mrs Hay has given a dolls' house to the Burnell children; it is minutely described, with special emphasis on a lamp inside of it as they want to tell us that there is some hope for the town to stop from class discrimination, which the youngest girl, Kezia, thinks is the best part of the dolls' house. The next morning they cannot wait to show it off to their school friends; Isabel bossily says she will be the one to decide who is allowed to come and see it in the house as she is the eldest. The Kelveys, two poor girls, Lil and our Else, will not be allowed to do so because they are of a much lower social class. Later, Isabel and two of her friends, Emmie Cole and Lena Logan, taunt the Kelveys about their low social status. Soon afterwards Kezia impulsively decides to show them the house anyway as she does not understand why the Kelveys have to be treated like this. Aunt Beryl, worried about an insisting letter from a certain Willie Brent, walks in on them, shoos away the Kelveys, scolds Kezia, then feels better. The Kelveys have managed to see the lamp, though, and our Else smiles her rare smile. The story ends with them being silent once more.
